Sphingoid long-chain base kinase; responsible for synthesis of long-chain base phosphates, which function as signaling molecules, regulates synthesis of ceramide from exogenous long-chain bases, localizes to the Golgi and late endosomes; LCB4 has a paralog, LCB5, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Minor sphingoid long-chain base kinase; possibly involved in synthesis of long-chain base phosphates, which function as signaling molecules; LCB5 has a paralog, LCB4, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Dihydrosphingosine 1-phosphate phosphatase; membrane protein involved in sphingolipid metabolism; YSR3 has a paralog, LCB3, that arose from the whole genome duplication; Belongs to the type 2 lipid phosphate phosphatase family.

Phosphatidylserine decarboxylase of the mitochondrial inner membrane; converts phosphatidylserine to phosphatidylethanolamine; regulates mitochondrial fusion and morphology by affecting lipid mixing in the mitochondrial membrane and by influencing the ratio of long to short forms of Mgm1p; partly exposed to the mitochondrial intermembrane space; autocatalytically processed; Belongs to the phosphatidylserine decarboxylase family. PSD-B subfamily. Eukaryotic type I sub-subfamily.

Protein that mediates sphingolipid homeostasis; evolutionarily conserved, required for resistance to agents that induce unfolded protein response; Orm1p and Orm2p together control membrane biogenesis by coordinating lipid homeostasis with protein quality control; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress; ORM2 has a paralog, ORM1, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Component of serine palmitoyltransferase; responsible along with Lcb1p for the first committed step in sphingolipid synthesis, which is the condensation of serine with palmitoyl-CoA to form 3-ketosphinganine; Belongs to the class-II pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.

Component of serine palmitoyltransferase; responsible along with Lcb2p for the first committed step in sphingolipid synthesis, which is the condensation of serine with palmitoyl-CoA to form 3-ketosphinganine.

Phosphatidylserine decarboxylase 2 alpha chain; Phosphatidylserine decarboxylase of the Golgi and vacuolar membranes; converts phosphatidylserine to phosphatidylethanolamine; controls vacuolar membrane phospholipid content by regulating phospholipids in compartments that will eventually give rise to the vacuole; loss of Psd2p causes a specific reduction in vacuolar membrane PE levels while total PE levels are not significantly affected.
